Alex Bannon asks to leave Burton Albion
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Tyrese Shade in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Burton Albion this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

3 matches without a goal for Burton Albion
The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 3 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

A bad afternoon for Burton Albion against Wigan Athletic
0‑1 to Wigan Athletic, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Udoka Godwin-Malife gets it from the manager

Nobody could get near Tyrese Shade
Successful dribbles: 13. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Burton Albion pick somebody else ahead of Kain Adom
There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Charlie Webster has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

A day to forget for Udoka Godwin-Malife
Marked 5.80, and generously at that. Nothing came off, and by the end the crowd had stopped expecting it to.
